Took the bold step of un-clamping the neck and it didn't fall off!
This small gap between the end of the neck and the back of the pocket bothered me.
It must be better for the neck to make contact with the pocket as it is less likely to lift once under string tension is what I am thinking.
So made a shim to fill the gap. Started with a piece as at the rear of the pic and ended up with the piece at the front.
A coating of glue on both sides and in it went. Feeling happier with that.
And couldn't resist fitting a few bits of hardware.
Must admit to feeling a bit down now I am getting towards the end of the build. A little bit of soldering to do then it is just screwing a few bits on. Plenty of setting up to do and hopefully enjoy playing it after that. But then what? How to cure the post guitar kit blues?
I think I know the answer
